At @MPI_Meteo (Hamburg), we’re modeling Arctic complexity for Q-ARCTIC, led by Victor Brovkin. The Arctic isn’t uniform—it’s wetlands, tundra, ponds, snow, and shrubs, but most models average it all.
Using ICON with JSBACH, we split grid cells into tiles, each with unique physics for water, heat, and carbon. This reveals how moisture and energy move between zones, driving Arctic feedbacks and global impacts.

The incredible tragedy for #ArcticScience of NOAA shutting down their #methane monitoring data. 5th May 2025 is the last data we'll ever get. #NCKF25

Interesting piece in Nature last week about Antarctic research infrastructure. China has just opened it's fifth station, as the US retreats from science in general, and especially polar research. Many countries in Europe are also rather weakly present in the Antarctic, and there is no common EU programme.
In Denmark, we haven't even ratified the Madrid protocols for environmental protection of Antarctica, never mind signed the Antarctic Treaty. In spite of the actually rather strong Danish input to Antarctic research in general - much of which is driven by the fact that our future sea level rise will be largely determined by what happens in the Antarctic.

Field Diary 2025
I very rarely have time to write a proper field diary, our time in the field is usually extremely hectic and filled with 12-18 hour working days that blend seamlessly together. I suspect this week is also going to be busy, but Nature has offered an olive branch in the shape of an early break-up of the sea ice, so I’m taking a moment to write a few things down.
We had originally planned terrestrial, glacier and sea ice work, primarily focused on snow processes. The sea ice part though was altered and expanded when the rapid break up in April and again this month was observed. Normally, we’d have a preparation day between arrival and going into the field, but the threat of winds and high temperatures meant we decided not to risk it and we went out straight away on the first full day. Our instincts to just go yesterday turned out to be correct, we had perfect weather and with the help of Qillaq, one of the local hunters we still made it out on to the sea ice. So all is not lost. I woke up this morning to see a wide blue sea just off the last pieces of fast ice on Qaanaaq, so I’m very happy with that decision. Sentinel-2 captured this yesterday while we were out in fact.
It probably looks more dangerous than it is. We were working on the stable fast ice to the east of the big flake, that stretches right into the fjord. The local topography make it very stable and our measurements yesterday confirmed it’s pretty typical for the time of year in thickness, though there was a surprising amount of snow on top, which can actually help to protect the ice from melt at this time of year.
Getting around the coast was surprisingly straightforward, the fast ice has a very stable platform, though some large churned up part of the ice with cracks made for some slightly bumpy manoeuvres to get on and off the stable parts.
Manoeuvring the sled through the coastal zoneThe dogs were I think happy when it was over. But in fact it was much more straightforward than I’d feared. The large crack we noticed earlier in the week that opened into a wide lead further extended while we were out, see below, and I woke up this morning to a wide open lagoon. It’s an extraordinarily beautiful place to work and I feel so privileged, especially on days like today when the weather is also being extra nice.
Happy dogs on the way home. Note the large area of open water behind that opened up while we were out.Work wise it was a successful day, we managed 2 stations, where we did very extensive work. I’d have liked a third but the deep snow made it very heavy and slow going to travel on and in spite of the early start we basically ran out of time and had to return home.
Qillaq and Abraham taking a manual measurement of snow depth and ice thickness next to target for the UAV calibration flights.We flew the UAV for surface properties, did a lot of snow pits and snow surface properties work, drilled some ice cores (which I will be working on this morning) and even got our loaned EM31 working to do automated ice thickness mapping. We will hopefully start to look at the data later on today to make sure it makes sense before we leave on Thursday.
Our first sea ice core of the seasonThe reduction in ice means we can actually concentrate on the terrestrial part of the work plan for the rest of the week. And there’s a lot to do!
Last year I set up a semi-permanent snow site to monitor conditions on land through the year. It is going to get a bit of an upgrade this week with some new instruments and of course we need to get the rest of the data downloaded and processed from here too.
Onwards.

During the 2023 American Geophysical Union Annual Fall Meeting University of #Vermont based Abigail Rec told us that while thawing #permafrost will have an affect on how the #EarthSystem functions, there's no need to be fearful.

Brilliant piece on the continuing fallout of the #Ukraine invasion on the #Arctic and #ArcticScience. Fo a frozen region, the military activity sounds damn hot.
"Although illusions of Arctic exceptionalism persisted even after Crimea’s annexation, Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 put them to rest"
Really worth reading + subscribing to the ever insightful @cryopolitics blog over on #Wordpress

A great account to follow if you're interested in #ArcticScience. And who isn't.

My #ArcticNet poster has been sent to the printer! I'm excited about this one because it includes an audio tour you can access with your smartphone. A QR code will direct folks to a Soundcloud playlist with readings and audio clips of some of the topics. I hope this increases accessibility and engagement. Switching gears—now working on my science talk for the same conference.

To #HindsgavlSlot to meet with #Danish #ArcticScience community for first time in 3 years. Always fun to find out what our colleagues in terrestrial #ecosystems, #greenhouseGases etc are working in
After the #COVID19 pandemic, I'm pleased to see the focus is on #ECRs and giving them a chance to network and present.
I'm especially keen to talk #CARRA + #CARRA2 (#Copernicus #Arctic Regional ##Reanalysis) to any users, potential users or data providers out there...
